Course Title
Description
Math 6
Required Year Course
Grade 6
Sixth grade curriculum focuses on the domains of the State Standards of
Mathematics. The five critical areas include: (1) Ratios and Proportional
Relationships, (2) The Number System - including negative numbers, (3)
Expressions and Equations, (4) Geometry, (5) Statistics and Probability.
Math 7
Required Year Course
Grade 7
Seventh grade curriculum focuses on the domain of the State Standards of
Mathematics. The five critical areas include: (1) Ratios and proportional
relationships, (2) The number system - including rational numbers,
(3) Expressions and equations - focusing on the properties of operations,
(4) Geometry, (5) Statistics and probability. Students must have a scientific
calculator. Texas Instruments is preferred (TI30 to TI34)
Pre-Algebra
Required Year Course
Grade 8
The Pre-Algebra curriculum is presented as a series of units, each focusing
on a specific strand of mathematics. Geometry concepts include: The
Pythagorean Theorem, slope, distance, and area. Algebra concepts include:
mathematical modeling using linear, exponential (growth and decay), and
quadratic relationships. Students will use the order of operations, simplify
algebraic expressions and solve linear and simple quadratic equations.
Algebra
Required Year Course
Grade 8
Algebra 1 is the generalized study of arithmetic. Students will study the order
of operations, properties of the real number system, equations and
inequalities, systems of equations, polynomials, exponents and radicals,
products and factoring, quadratic equations, and an introduction to relations
and functions. The student must have a graphing calculator - TI-83 or TI 84
preferred and can be used all throughout high school.
H Geometry
Required
Year Course
Grade 8
The Geometry curriculum is presented as a series of units, each focusing on
a specific strand of mathematics. Geometry concepts include: parallel lines,
quadratic properties, Pythagorean Theorem, trigonometry, area, volume, and
properties of circles. Algebra concepts include: slope, linear equations,
inequalities, polynomials, exponents and factoring.
